Stereotypes. We all have them. One definition of a stereotype is a short cut. A more sociological definition of why there are stereotypes was proposed by professors at Stanford University: "Stereotypes simplify an overly complex environment and create prejudices that function mainly to release frustration and make people feel superior to others."...
... Too often, negative stereotypes are associated with poor people. Words such as lazy or uneducated are used. But I have learned that the only stereotype that can be associated with poor people is that they don't have much money.
